Lee Ann Womack - A Little Past Little Rock lyrics

(Jess Brown/Tony Lane/Brett Jones) I had to leave my life in Dallas That town will always be you In every crowd, on every corner In every face I'd see you So with nothin' more than a tank of gas I drove away without lookin' back And I guess that's how I got where I am And goin' anywhere as fast as I can And I'm a little past Little Rock Further down the line Too soon to know what's up ahead Too late to change my mind I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do I'm a little past Little Rock But a long way from over you These headlights on the highway Disappear into the dark And if I could have my way I'd go back to where you are Oh, but I can't turn this thing around And nothing short of breaking down Is gonna get me off this road I'm on Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone And I'm a little past Little Rock Further down the line Too soon to know what's up ahead Too late to change my mind I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do I'm a little past Little Rock But a long way from over you
